Homesick
Bound & BlindedI don’t know why I even trying that hard to help this chubby cheek on his diet
But I did it anyway
Well…seeing his smile when he knows he lose more than 10 pounds is quite irritating at first
But then I can’t hold the warmth on my heart
I feel happy too
But don’t think you can hug me!
Before he can hug me I do it first
I don’t want him to hug me
I just…don’t know why
The lifting and weight check are just excuses,
Or else I’ll be embarrassed to even suddenly lift him like that
His body is light
Too light
As I trace his defining jaw and cheek bone with my eyes, I can see clearly he has lost so much weight
The puffy cheek almost gone
And somehow I don’t quite like it
I need to make those cheeks back a bit
Or I won’t be able pinch those cheeks again
How can I call him Baozi if he didn’t have any similarities to it?
“From now on, you must buy me taro flavored bubble tea for a month”
I said
“Wh…what?! that’s!”
He tries to think of something to say
“I’ve helped you a lot for this diet, so that’s enough payment for me”
“*sigh* okay…”
I tried to hold my laughter watching his defeated face
“Tomorrow morning we’ll hear the end result of the recorded songs and next day you’ll met your dance choreographer”
Said our manager before he walks away while talking to the gym coach
Leaving us alone on the room
Finally! I can’t wait for the result
I’ve endured this long for those moments to come
Debut single. Debut mv, dance choreography
Everything
I even didn’t came home for a long time
Home…
It’s been years…
How are my family doing?
I even rarely replied their emails because I’m too busy
Yeah, Busy ignoring it
Because I’m afraid to be weak
Weak when I saw their face
Their words
I just don’t need to be like that
At least until I’ve reach my own dream
To debut
They will understand, right?
My parents will okay with that, right?
“Luhan?”
I lift my face in reflexes to face Minseok
“Are you alright?”
He asked with worried face
“uh, I’m alright”
I lied
Well it’s not his business anyway
“Are you sure?”
He walks closer
“yup”
Don’t get any closer!!
I never know he’s this ‘short’
His eyes is in the same level as my nose
Eyelashes too thick for a man
Translucent liquid pours down on his fair skin
I have white skin, but his is much fairer
And those deep brown eyes staring at mine
Searching for something
“You’re lying”
That words stabs through my mind
What the heck?!
How can he….know
“What do you mean?”
I almost stuttered saying that
He blinks
Waving those eyelashes in a split second
“When you faked your smile, your eyes turn blank”
That’s the words that slip through his cherry colored lips
“How do you!”
“Know?”
He tilts his head to the left side
Eyes showing so much innocence that I never felt so much fear to him
“I like to observe”
He smiles
That crooked smile of his is like challenging me
“…none of your business”
I walk ahead of him, but suddenly he grabs my shoulder
I never thought he can be this strong
Ah…I forgot…he learns taekwondo…
“It’s my business”
Eventually I stop my steps
“Because you’re my partner, we help each other, just like you help me with my diet”
How naïve you are
Didn’t you ever think that MAYBE I just didn’t want you to ruin my debut?
“If we’re partners, then you need to respect my privacy, and I have the rights for not telling you everything”
I shove his hand that on my shoulder
You look stunned
You bite your lips
And eyes stares down to the ground
“I’m sorry”
You said softly
And now why do I feel guilty?!
Aish!
I turn my body and walk away
At least just let me be far away from him even only for a few hours
It suffocates me
And I’m not sure if it’s because I’m angry at him or I just feeling guilty being harsh to him
I don’t want to know
I heard my steps becomes more rapid
Is it even my own?
Suddenly Minseok catches my hand and pulls it
“Minseok!”
I hissed because he pulls me outside and there’re quite a people there
Looking at us in curiosity
And I couldn’t hold my stern look and quickly fakes a smile
“Just follow me”
He said while continues pulling me
Didn’t he care what people think?!
I tried to pull my hand but with everyone here how can I even do it without making them think that I’m mad at him?
He pulls me outside the building
The path is familiar
And he stops
Finally
“What do you want?”
I asked him while panting, soft enough so that he’s the only one hearing it
“I haven’t buy you your treat”
He said and pulls me again
We enters a familiar place
As I scanned the place, he stops
“Hello, can we order one taro flavor and one blueberry flavor?”
He said to the waiter on the counter
It’s my favorite bubble tea café
